Ukraine found no evidence against Hunter Biden in case audit: former top prosecutor

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-impeachment-ukraine/ukraine-found-no-evidence-against-hunter-biden-in-case-audit-former-top-prosecutor-idUSKBN23B2RB?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&utm_source=reddit.com

After taking office, Ryaboshapka in October announced an audit of old cases he inherited, including those related to the energy company Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a board member between 2014-2019.

The audit was intended to probe whether cases Ryaboshapka had inherited from his predecessors had been handled properly, given the reputation of the prosecution service as being riddled with corruption and influence-peddling.

The audit was part of a broader reform of the prosecution service but became politically charged given some of the cases related to Burisma’s founder.

“Regarding the call to Zelenskiy and this story with Burisma. I can say that there was no pressure on me,” Ryaboshapka said. “The audit was completed.”

“I specifically asked prosecutors to check especially carefully those facts about Biden’s alleged involvement. They answered that there was nothing of the kind,” he added.

Zelenskiy must be feeling like the President is impotent to visit retribution on him for failing to fabricate the case Needy Amin wants.

6. The world press gathered in Ukraine knew that in 2014.

Russia's breaking the long decades of peace since WWII by invading Ukraine was a really, really big deal for the planet, and major media sent A teams to join those already there. It was believed they probably heard Hunter had accepted that lucrative position before his father did, when Burisma first started bragging of the association with the name Biden that they were going to be paying for.

7. Of course they didn't find any evidence. This was simply a parallel narrative during the impeachment

Same as the parallel narrative the GOP Senate is ginning up as we speak, to distort and distract from reality and confuse the general public about Joe Biden.

You'd think after all these years we'd figure out a way to get in front of these things and counteract before their innuendo machine got turned on. They're quite transparent in their efforts.

Hey, look over there: it's a Central American migrant caravan!! Can't vote for Democrats with a migrant caravan bearing down on us at 80mph!!!.

It has to be Soros. He took time out of funding all the looting and rioting to get to the Ukrainians.

12. Well, you must consider that they seem invulnerable to information in any form.

It has no effect on them. So far only those who were personally injured by him have shown any change of heart regarding El Supremo Deluxe.
